... your nose and down your throat?
I had a throat ache that wouldn't go away, and so to see what was going on, they did this medical procedure.
The interesting part is that I never saw it coming. They asked questions, cleaned away ear wax, sprayed a liquid in my nostrils, and out of no where, a nurse came along with push-cart instrumentation, the physician brought a tool to my face and said: "you can close your mouth, I'm going through your nose." No anesthetics, nothing. Saying :"EEEEEEEE" on demand and taking very deep breaths were my distractions during the 1 minute procedure, except if I dared to glance at the live broadcast pharynx network on the monitor next to the nurse, which I wasn't really in the mood for at the time.
It does show how people skills are important for a physician, along with hi-tech tools. Had I known what was coming, perhaps I wouldn't have been so "cooperative". (hard to run away once the pipe is in there...)
The good news is that pills should make the ache go away, and there should be nothing to worry about.
And no, sorry, I didn't ask for the .mpeg
